December

I told you straight from the heart:
"you can't rely on my past"
I saw your sister last weekend
And I thought about it
But I sounded too shy
Through provocation
I fell hard on your floor
Then we spent the night
While your parents were gone
God I hope I'm right but I can't tonight
(whatever makes you feel good)
We'll take it all the same
(think you should stand where I stood)
You're hard to blame
(i'll trace the fall underfoot)
Confused while I'm away from home
A troublemaker at best
I asked if I could be next
When we meet in December
Tell me where the flowers are on my body
I've got a history of dragging along
And I think you might be a little too strong
But I hope I'm old when I've lost my soul
(whatever makes you feel good)
We'll take it all the same
(think you should stand where I stood)
You're hard to blame
(i'll trace the fall underfoot)
Confused while I'm away from home
(you know this tore me in half)
I wrote you on my sleeve
(I stole a glass from the bar)
Give me time to breathe
(you think I'm bitter and tough)
You're spinning out of sleep, from home
I swear you lied a thousand times
To swim away and touch your side
A little curt can be no worse
Than being known as someone's first
I never liked to make the choice
You'd get upset, I'd get annoyed
But I can swallow up the view
I like to feel I'm of some use
(whatever makes you feel good)
We'll take it all the same
(think you should stand where I stood)
You're hard to blame
(i'll trace the fall underfoot)
Confused while I'm away from home
(you know this tore me in half)
I wrote you on my sleeve
(I stole a glass from the bar)
Give me time to breathe
(you think I'm bitter and tough)
You're spinning out of sleep, from home
